FBI raids a downtown Dallas tech company

Agents raided Univision Tower, the very tall building at 2323 Bryan St. That very tall building is apparently also packed full of some very sophisticated telecom equipment. Telx, the building’s owner, describes it as “the Southwest’s premier hub for communications providers from the United States, Latin America, Europe and Asia Pacific.”

As usual, the feds don’t talk about ongoing cases, including why they raid places. That, by the way, is a very inconvenient thing for a reporter trying to tell folks what is going on. Once the warrant is unsealed in the next day or two, we’ll know more about what sort of criminal case this is. Hopefully.

In the meantime, the owner of the apparently target company is talking, and is hopping mad. Here’s what he posted online this afternoon.

UPDATE: For those of you who enjoy a little light reading, here’s a 39-page synopsis on the investigation, which, best I can tell, involves allegations that folks stole a heck of a lot of minutes from AT&T and other phone companies. If nothing else, if ought to tell you how thorough the FBI can be.
